Hi, I stumbled upon the following: packet_footer reserved_bytes checksum u(32) [Note: in index packet, reserved_bytes comes before index_ptr] Wouldn't it be cleaner and easier to understand to just move reserved_bytes to the end of each header? Like: packet_header .... some_header (!=index) .... reserved_bytes packet_footer checksum u(32) and packet_header .... index .... reserved_bytes index_ptr f(64) packet_footer checksum u(32) This removes the need for the [Note:...]-exception for index packets and should result in the same bitstream as before. --Ivo
